Integration with Alchemy and ChainStack providers

See original GitHub issue

Hi there, I’ve been using Eventeum + Infura for a while without major issues, but since the last Infura WebSocket endpoint degradation (Refs: https://github.com/ConsenSys/eventeum/issues/139) I’m looking for fallback providers without having to run my own node. For that purpose, I’ve used the ropsten network to see if Eventeum will work with other providers. I’ve initially raised a question in Gitter but decided to conduct a bit more detailed investigation and share it with you.

Behaviors

Alchemy

When using Alchemy, the logs don’t show any error but no event is caught, only the new blocks are seeing:

I’ve made a transaction that generates an event (Block 8260883) that is correctly set up but it was ignored (Refs: https://ropsten.etherscan.io/tx/0xfdd24a181068d699031c08cf7e5a6baadaf3849dcc78f57a34f0cbcaeeea5818).

Chain Stack

The Eventeum for some reason isn’t able to establish a connection to the Chain Stack. Here are the logs:

WebSocket debugging

I’ve decided to use the wscat tool to see if there is something wrong with these services, here are the results:

Infura

First of all, I’ve get the results from Infura to use to compare with the other services.

Conclusion

From the wscat tool the responses for the eth_getFilterLogs call are pretty the same for the three providers. Can you help me? Please let me know if there is some useful information that I can collect to help in this investigation.

Thanks

@Ferparishuertas here is the application.yml (changed to txt because github didn’t let me upload yml) that we’re using where we’re not seeing all the events coming through.

Would you be able to look at the alchemy integration in particular? It seems the raw websockets are working correctly but please advise if there is something we can do when using eventeum differently to make it show all events like infura does
